Marcos regrets missing Duterte's rally, studying arrest

Senator Imee Marcos expressed regret for not attending the campaign rally of Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas in Tacloban due to former President Rodrigo Duterte's arrest.

In a Facebook post on March 14, Senator Marcos stated that she cannot accept what happened to Duterte and is studying the events to inform and enlighten Filipinos.

Marcos emphasized her intention to develop realistic solutions regarding Duterte's arrest, which took place on Tuesday, March 11, after Interpol received an arrest warrant from the ICC.

Duterte was flown out of the Philippines on a plane that departed from NAIA at 11:03 p.m. and is now in The Hague for his first appearance before the ICC on Friday, March 14 (Manila time).

Early Thursday morning (Philippine time), Duterte entered the Scheveningen Prison where he will be held while awaiting trial.

The public hearing will be broadcast with a 30-minute delay to protect sensitive information as per documents uploaded to the ICC website.
